Polytunnel in the Mediterranean Garden

As part of the 25th anniversary activities, many volunteers and staff came together to put up the polytunnel in the Mediterranean garden and stock it full of salad and greens for the winter.

Polytunnel in Mediterranean Garden

Doors and caña poles make the frame

The poles are covered in netting to stop the plastic tearing, while beds are dug out for the salad

The tunnel starts to take shape...

The plastic is pulled tight and secured with stakes

Planting starts inside while the doors are fixed

Plenty of salad and oriental greens get sown to keep Sunseed going through the winter

The finished product after a morning's hard work by everyone!

Thanks to Anna, Nye and Lucy for the photos!
